Justpeachy! says Hi Lauren, what is the Wedding Dress about? Are you a bride again?
noodle says Lauren, how many bro's ya got?
SisselJ says Acting with Tyne must be awesome! Has she reminisced bout the old "Christy"?
Lauren /Christy says Yep I get to wear the dress again, but this time something very tragic happens.
SisselJ says Oh, doesn't sound good.

angellass says when is it going to be on?
debra s. says Any idea when Wedding Dress will air. Like actors ever know. . .
Lauren /Christy says It should be airing in September
gap says Lauren: I enjoyed reading Christy's Journal.
SisselJ says Yes, I, too loved the journal!
Lauren /Christy says thanks it was fun writing it
SouthernDav says alright, ultimate question: who were you for, Lauren? David or Neil?
Cindy K says This already SouthernD ?
SisselJ says Yes, if *you* had to choose, who would you pick?
Lauren /Christy says First, how could I ever choose, they are both so wonderful in different ways
SouthernDav says very true
daniaele says :)
SisselJ says that's true, Lauren!
debra s. says Wouldn't be a problem choosing for me. LOL!
Cindy K says A diplomat through out it all
SouthernDav says me too!
Lisa_ca_girl says very diplomatic, but Neil's the MAN!
Lisa_ca_girl says :-)
Sari Lou says yup
SisselJ says Wouldn't be for me either--at least I wouldn't have too much of a fight--LOL!
Lauren /Christy says are all you guys for Neil??
angellass says Uh-huh!
SouthernDav says not all of us!
daniaele says of course!
lbcdawn1 says is there really any OTHER choice??
SisselJ says Yes, for David!!
SouthernDav says yes~!
sonjaSFM says yes for neil!
debra s. says I think polls showed 90 percent of fans in favor of Neil. Right, Cindy?
Cindy K says Affirmative
angellass says No Neil!
SouthernDav says David, David!
SisselJ says Another DD? Glad to meet you! :)
SouthernDav says you too
Sari Lou says neil all the way!!!!!
debra s. says After all, I read the book. Neil is THE man. LOL
angellass says Neil!
SisselJ says Yep...and a BB!
noodle says Don't everyone speak at once, I'm a "David Dame"!!!!
SisselJ says Great! There are at least 3 of us present! :)
Justpeachy! says Lauren, what else are you working on these days?
LLL says The miniseries commercials look great
SouthernDav says Yeah, they really make you wonder
SisselJ says I just saw one last night (commercial).
noodle says Lauren, what do you enjoy most about acting?
debra s. says Lauren, just how many times did you have to slap Stewart to get the right take?
Lauren /Christy says Well funny you asked Debra! because I actually got to slap him quite a few times! I'm a perfectionist you know
Possum Kim says Ha! Lauren.
SouthernDav says :-)
angellass says was it fun?
daniaele says too funny
Cindy K says That is too funny Lauren
gap says LOL Lauren
SisselJ says Hee, hee....
debra s. says Sounds like, you enjoyed that slap. So, was it the same number of takes for the KISS?
Lauren /Christy says I have to say he did give me some motivation, and it was a lot of fun!
angellass says What did he do to give you motivation?
Possum Kim says For kissing, or slapping?
debra s. says Motivation for the kiss or the slap or both?
Lauren /Christy says Stew is Stew!!
Cindy K says True
Lauren /Christy says don't tell him I told you that
SouthernDav says and there is jumbo and gumbo
SisselJ says I think all the NLasses have fallen off their chairs!
angellass says nope!
debra s. says Of course we won't tell him. NOT! LOL!
SouthernDav says i wish we could!
gap says LOL Kim!
ChristyB says Oh, what did I just miss?
Cyn says Not to give away my age, but I've got a son born the same year as SFM and he is the stewy type too. Must be the year!
angellass says I have a question, who is Christy's Maid of Honor?
SouthernDav says ruby mae
Sari Lou says yeah
angellass says or Alice?
angellass says what about Fairlight?
Justpeachy! says Lauren, did you have to kiss David, too?
Lauren /Christy says I sure did
debra s. says So, Lauren. What did you think about Harriet? Why did Neil kiss her and not Christy?
Cindy K says Don't ask her that, ask Tom B. He wrote it
debra s. says So true. Cindy. A MAN did write that part - LOL
Possum Kim says Dramatic tension?
Lauren /Christy says Because Harriet was a wild city woman !!
Cindy K says lol
Sari Lou says lol!
Lisa_ca_girl says Yep, gotta watch out for them city gals!
daniaele says lol
Elena says Neil sure likes those city women!
debra s. says And Christy is NOT wild? LOL
SouthernDav says yeah!
Cyn says Variety is the spice of life, and Harriet sure was variety!
Sari Lou says good point! lol
SisselJ says You know what happened in the old series...when the men went to town!! City gals are trouble. ;-)
Lauren /Christy says maybe she gets a little wilder in the mini??
SouthernDav says maybe
angellass says maybe it is because another available woman came to the Gap
debra s. says I think Harriet was more receptive at this point than Christy will be. LOL
This part of the transcript is missing, but someone tries to wheedle the ending out of Lauren by asking her what scenes from the wedding did she like doing.
Lauren /Christy says hmmm are you perhaps trying to get some hints!! I liked the reception
SisselJ says Really!
SouthernDav says lauren **HINT** **HINT**
Lisa_ca_girl says clever girl!
SouthernDav says we're trying to be real subtle, but man
Cindy K says This Christy is too smart for us!
debra s. says She is very sharp, isn't she, Cindy. And slippery.
lbcdawn1 says personally I always root for the underdog..I would like to have seen your wedding with David...just so the poor guy wouldn't feel all was wasted.lol
SouthernDav says you will, Dawn, in the 3rd movie!
angellass says Maybe they will release a DVD with both weddings so every side can be happy!
rebekkah says oh, yes...
ChristyB says angellass...we were told by Tom, I think, that the alternate ending has been destroyed.
Cindy K says yep
SisselJ says Argh! What a waste, don't you think?
angellass says ohh... i am sad
Lisa_ca_girl says hee hee
SisselJ says The Fairlight thing must have been hard to do.
Lauren /Christy says It was very challenging for everyone
debra s. says Lauren, what are some of your favorite books? Besides Christy.
Lauren /Christy says one of my all time favorite books is Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet
AmBird says What's your favorite movie, Lauren?
Lauren /Christy says There are so many but,one would be The Sheltering Sky
Cindy K says That is an interesting choice
AmBird says Sounds interesting.
ChristyB says No person in their right mind wants to see Christy marry David anyway... right? :) LOL
Possum Kim says hah! That's subtle
SouthernDav says haha, yall are so mean to him
SisselJ says Weeelll...,there are some DD's in this here chat room!
SouthernDav says ChristyB, whatcha mean about David? you're dimissing him.
Lauren! Do you think so? **exaggerated wink** HintHint
angellass says i think that Christy will be happy with whoever she
chooses, and we should let her make the right choice. (wink)
debra s. says Lauren, do you have many pets?
Lauren /Christy says i have 2 dogs casper and kobe
ChristyB says Oh, I'm not dismissing him... I like David, I just don't think he's the right one for Christy!
rebekkah says Lauren, do you have any roles in particular or characters that you want to portray?
Lauren /Christy says I would love to play a completely different character, maybe someone a bit more edgy
daniaele says thanks kim, tell the posse we all said hi to them
Cindy K says Edgy hmmm like who?
Brittia1 says LIke Miss Ida?
Lisa_ca_girl says Miss Ida - - now that's edgy!!!
angellass says Lauren, what is your dream role?
gap says Lauren: what storyline would you like to see them pursue in the next Christy episode?
Lauren /Christy says I would love to see the dynamic of what happens to the character that does not end up marrying christy
Cindy K says Yes that is an interesting aspect too
SisselJ says Well, I have to go home now. Thanks for joining us, Lauren! I look forward to seeing you soon in the min-series. God's blessing to you and yours. Good night all. And, hope no one took offense by anything I said--I really am quite a kidder! ;-)
SouthernDav says Lauren, which would be, for you, . . . .
Lauren /Christy says Bye sissellj thanks for chatting
SouthernDav says *HINT* *IHINT*
angellass says Now that the DD left you can tell us about Christy's wedding with Neil
Lauren /Christy says my lips are sealed!!
ChristyB says LOL
SouthernDav says AND david
Brittia1 says Other than the wedding, what scene from the films are you most excited for us to see?
daniaele says good for you lauren
SouthernDav says does he wear a kilt?
Lisa_ca_girl says You all are hopeless! Lauren isn't talking - - she's too smart for that!
Tamina says How are you Lauren?
AmBird says Lauren, I hear that some people on the cast don't know who Christy marries. Do you know who she marries? PLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSE let it be Neil!
debra s. says Lauren, the guys said that you were quite a cut up on the set and tried to run them over with a golf cart. What else did you do?
angellass says I thought she married both of them, you know, polygamy... she could live in Southern Utah.
ChristyB says We should ask questions she can answer... we will all know who she marries in just a week and a half!
Lisa_ca_girl says Wow! Take that girl's golf cart license away! LOL!
SouthernDav says yeah . . .David!
Brittia1 says Now there's a thought, Angel
Lauren /Christy says I loved filming the scenes with the wind and rain machines, sometime it was so hard to hear or talk with them going so fast that we would all just crack up
Mary H. says a week and a half REALLY!?
gap has logged off chat
debra s. says You know Canuks, they don't have licenses. LOL
Tamina says Wow! It loks like the whole gang is here!
angellass says by the way.. no offense to utahans, I happen to go to school in utah.
Lisa_ca_girl says LOL - Debra
ChristyB says sorry... 2 and a half weeks
debra s. says Well, Lauren. We sure appreciate all the physical adversity you endured to be our Christy. THANKS.
Lauren /Christy says did someone say something about a golf cart!!
rebekkah says well, i'd love to stay and chat, but drama practice calls. Thanks so much for coming, lauren! bye everyone! as i exit stage left humming Grease songs....
Cindy K says Yes tell all now
Possum Kim says Night, rebekkah
angellass says what golf cart?
Tamina says Lauren, .can I just say, that I think you make a beautiful Christy!
debra s. says Who DIDN'T mention that golf cart!
Lauren /Christy says whoops
Mary H. says what about a golf cart?
Cyn says Any talk of running the movie before the mini series, and/or re-running all three later in the year?
lbcdawn1 says she was a reckless driver'
angellass says who?
Lauren /Christy says don't ever get into one with me!
debra s. says Maniac driver is what I heard.
Possum Kim says Or was that wreckless?
Cindy K says lol Kim
angellass says what did you do?
lbcdawn1 says both!
Brittia1 says Thanks Lauren for being so gracious to be with us tonight. I have to go. Nite all!
Lauren /Christy says Niite
debra s. says Lauren, can you mention anything that either of the guys did on the set that might embarrass them?
Lisa_ca_girl says Yeah
Possum Kim says ooh, good question
debra s. says Inquiring minds want to know
Cindy K says oh oh
lbcdawn1 says yeah yeah...we want Blood!
Lisa_ca_girl says Really embarrassing stuff!!!!
AmBird says Lauren, when i gets the ratings they want and decided to do a Christy series with you as Christy, which would you prefer doing: Christy's married life or telling her grandchildren about her life as a teacher?
Lauren /Christy says christy's married life
Cindy K says I agree
daniaele says how about both
ChristyB says with Neil, of course... :)
Lisa_ca_girl says Of course!
Lauren /Christy says or David!
Mary H. says of course
AmBird says I agree too. Christy's married life would be the best to watch
sonjaSFM says I agree too! Christy's married life!!
Mary H. says yea me to
lbcdawn1 says you guys just wanna swoon!
Tamina says I have decided that I'm not going to look at any pictures or video clips, it's so much more mysterious :)
sonjaSFM says With David looking on as the family friend, of course
Lisa_ca_girl says Lol, sonja!
Mary H. says Oh Tamina i couldn't live with out doing that LoL
angellass says I want to see Christy's married life, it has my vote!
debra s. says Lauren, I just bought the new Christy with you on the cover and the video last night. Loved the picture of you on the front of both.
ChristyB says I don't want to be the only one to disagree, but I would rather see Christy telling her grandchildren about her life as a teacher... there is so much more to be done with it!
MichW says Am I too late?
Possum Kim says No, we waited for you
debra s. says She is still here, Michelle.
MichW says Great!
Possum Kim says Michelle, say "hi" to the nice lady.
Lauren /Christy says i just sent me copies of both too! It's pretty cool to be on the cover of a book!
gap says she's been very patient with us Michelle :)
MichW says Hello from Canada, Lauren!
Cindy K says I bet what a thrill
debra s. says Congrats, Lauren
angellass says Ohh, new book I must purchase.
Lauren /Christy says Hi MichW
Tamina says It's very hard! Once I accidentally saw a picture of Neil & Christy and I hurried and turned off my computer, I was so scared I would see something! :)
gap says LOL Tamina!
Tamina says I'm strange, but I like to keep it a mystery....
Lauren /Christy says me too!!
angellass says s'okay, you can still buy the book.
lbcdawn1 says lots of exposure...and to think it will eventually make it to the libraries...for decades folks will be looking at your youthful self...you have the opportunity to never grow old!
debra s. says So, Lauren. Who was more nervous on the first day of shooting. You, Stewart or James?
Lauren /Christy says ME!
MichW says So, I know of another person who just watched RTCG and really, really liked it!
lbcdawn1 says that makes 3 million happy viewers. .haha
debra s. says Was Stewart a guiding light or a fog light?
MichW says LOL, Dawn!
Possum Kim says Ha
lbcdawn1 says so long as he weren't a fog Horn
angellass says I forced my roommates to watch it, they liked it so much, we had an all night replay of it, so as to see our favorite parts again and again.
daniaele says Lauren, thanks for being on tonight, it was a joy. I have to put my 3 angels to bed. They all say goodnight to you, and hope to see you at c-fest. Night all!
Lauren /Christy says He definitely was not a fog horn!
Tamina says Lauren, did you ever see any of the previous episodes of Christy before you did the movies?
AmBird says My mother loved the movie. She just loves you as Christy, Lauren.
Lauren /Christy says I saw a couple
MichW says Nite, Daniaele!
angellass says Did you see my favorite? Judgment Day with Ruby Mae and the Possum?
gap says bye Daniaele!
MichW says Do you remember which ones they were, Lauren?
lbcdawn1 says which one of the ones you saw did you prefer?
Lauren /Christy says bye Danielle
AmBird says Which was your favorite Christy episode? I love Amazing Grace
Lauren /Christy says I loved the first one
lbcdawn1 says the first you watched..or the pilot?
MichW says Oh, the pilot was excellent! Really set the tone for the whole series.
Lauren /Christy says the pilot
debra s. says Lauren, are you going to be nervous when May 13 and 14 rolls around?
Lisa_ca_girl says Speaking of dinner, I have to feed my hubby, so I must go! Thanks for the chat, Lauren. I am REALLY looking forward to the mini series. Bye!
Lauren /Christy says Bye lisa thanks for coming
Lauren /Christy says yeah I'll be nervous, but I can't wait
Cindy K says We are all excited for May 13 - 14 to come
AmBird says Speaking of Ebay, I just bought a Christy press kit with pictures of you, Lauren.
Tamina says Lauren, will you be watching with your family?
Lauren /Christy says yeah
debra s. says Did you mention, Lauren, who you will watch the mini with?
MichW says *sigh* I'll have to wait for my tape in the mail to see the miniseries.
Possum Kim says By the way, Lauren, if you do go to CF and meet us, don't be afraid of us, okay?
debra s. says Hey, Tamina, good question. LOL
lbcdawn1 says You live in Canada right? Will you be able to watch it when it plays, or will you have to rely on tapes?
angellass says We aren't as scary as we look, i men talk.
Lauren /Christy says I won't be afraid
MichW says Kim - does this mean you're going? VBG
debra s. says No, be afraid of Kim, be VERY afraid. LOL
angellass says hey!
MichW says Dawn -- I have to wait for my tape. Regina is making me a copy.
AmBird says hi
Mary H. says lol debra
Possum Kim says No, I wish. Gotta stay home with the Posse. And oh yeah, my kids.
Lauren /Christy says i is going to send me the tapes
Tamina says I bet it will seem so strange to be telling yourself."Wow! I DID marry the Doctor after all!"
gap says Lauren: you should get some practice signing autographs. We all want to meet you :)
debra s. says When will they send them to you?
Mary H. says haha Tamina
Lauren /Christy says hey hey hey
MichW says LOL, Dawn!
AmBird says Lauren, do you know if the new movie covers will be the same as the first one?
angellass says the first one has two covers.
Lauren /Christy says I think they will all be different
lbcdawn1 says really?
BarbaraD says So has anybody asked Lauren which one of the two men give the best "you may now kiss the bride" performance??
Cindy K says Been done to death Barb
lbcdawn1 says she is being stubborn about that. Says its a secret!
BarbaraD says Or is that too personal!! VBG
debra s. says We ALL have Barbara. She is kissing and NOT telling.
MichW says LOL y'all!
angellass says good for her, old fashioned girl!
AmBird says She doesn't kiss and tell
BarbaraD says Bummer!! Come on, not even a little hint for a poor
girl out on lood duty for 3 days with the National Guard!!
Lauren /Christy says You guys may have it all wrong maybe christy suddenly decides to run off with tom!!
Lauren /Christy says or birds eye!!
MichW says Oh, I 'm looking forward a little bit more everyday to seeing the miniseries.
Cindy K says Shame! Tom McHone is married to Opal, and we love Opal.
gap says or Jeb
angellass says might not be a bad idea, i always liked uncle bogg, she could run off with him!
MichW says Or maybe she'll decide John Spencer makes her heart sing!
lbcdawn1 says .lol I would like to See BE have some happiness though
Lauren /Christy says you're right, maybe jeb
BarbaraD says BE would definately be my choice!!
Tamina says That's a scary thought Lauren!
lbcdawn1 says mine too...eek!
debra s. says Hey, that would mean Neil is available, gals! LOL
lbcdawn1 says I like Jeb. That would kinda fit. you would want to be there for your friends children..lol
AmBird says LOL
debra s. says Rebounded, but available
angellass says how 'bout Nathan O'Teale
BarbaraD says WHOOOHOOO on Neil being available. I could use a good doctor about now
